46 Seminaries and Colleges. — Individual Institutions

responded most willingly and have rendered fine service to Synod
and the institution, besides personally getting valuable training
and experience.

Through kind donations from the Michigan and the Northern
Illinois District toward our Student Employment Fund we were
able to provide employment and income to many needy students.

We shall deeply appreciate it if Synod will continue to endorse
the recommendations and resolutions passed in the 1938 conven-
tion (see Proceedings 1938; p. 299) in regard to student employment.

Resolutions of Synod Passed in 1938

In accord with resolutions of Synod passed in the 1938 con-
vention a limited number of women were admitted for teacher-
training, and a fourth year—the senior college year —was in-
stituted. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Education was
conferred on the June, 1940, graduates.

Synod in 1938 authorized our Board of Control to appoint
a qualified adviser to women. We have as yet not made such an
appointment, but have had the college nurse serve, temporarily, in

this cacacity.
Requests

Synod has appropriated certain amounts for library, labora-
tory, etc, for each institution. It has not provided as yet for
health service and physical education. When our institution num-
bered about 200 students, the most advanced of whom were college
sophomores, Synod’s appropriation for our library was $500; for
laboratory, $300. Of this amount only $375 could be paid annually
by Synod’s Treasurer during the past years for library; for
laboratory, only $150. Since our enrolment has now nearly doubled
and we have added a whole senior college, these figures need
revision, and more adequate provision should be made also for
health service and physical education.

We shall need annually approximately:

For Health Service 2,500.00

We are anxious to provide a large part of these funds, but we
find it impossible to take care of the entire matter and therefore
would respectfully request that Synod make available annually ~
during the coming triennium the following amounts:
